Abstract

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by a mirror-image transposition of both the abdominal and the thoracic organs. Frequency of situs inversus is 1:10,000 and is more frequent in males: 1.5:1. SIT is inherited as an autosomal recessive pattern and is associated with multiple gene mutations. Advanced imaging modalities can be used to assess fine anatomical details, which play a crucial role in these cases to plan radiologic or surgical interventions. Diagnosis is usually made when patient presents with other medical concerns as in this case report. The concurrence of aglossia and hypoglossia has been reported with situs inversus totalis condition in some of the literatures. The following case report discusses the dental management of a young girl with Situs Inversus Totalis condition.
